‘The supporters create an unbelievable atmosphere’Richarlison, Timo Werner and Romero miss Turkey trip
Ange Postecoglou has backed a patched-up squad to handle one of the continent’s most feared cauldrons when Spurs face Galatasaray in the biggest test of their Europa League campaign to date.
Tottenham have three wins from three in the new eight-game format and would almost certainly guarantee at least the safety net of a playoff spot with another victory in Istanbul. But they will be heavily depleted against the Turkish league leaders, who have dropped only two points from 10 domestic games, and the occasion will be a test for the less-experienced members of Postecoglou’s brood. Even if the modern Rams Park does not quite offer the “Welcome to hell” of the old Ali Sami Yen stadium, there are few more intimidating venues.
